Recent videos have caused users to speculate that "her acting is amazing." Her videos occasionally include her friends and the in-jokes they share.

BowieChick also got the YouTube community involved in one of her music videos. She requested that people on the site would lip synch to John Lennon's classic song "Imagine". The video includes a variety of people trying to get the same message across.

"In Cold Blood - For school" is a video BowieChick made for a school project. Even though it is possible she hasn't read the book, the video is an advertisement for the book. She dressed up as different characters and she asked those characters if they have read the book In Cold Blood. She later made a video named "Gum Chewing Girl," in which she took a character from her ICB video and made a full video with just this character.
